That one “Nazi” vtuber that Rand was simping for barely wants to say Nigger lmao.

I would say who the fuck watches this shit but then I remember it’s dented retards
 
WRT the payment processor stuff; I actually frequently bring up stuff like DMCA abuse and payment processor monopolies because they're essentially invisible strangeholds on free speech. The issue is that a lot of people, especially VERY political people, operate almost entirely on emotion now. It sucks. Like when I'd talk about DMCA abuse it would always go like...

ME: OnlyFans abuses the DMCA to keep people from reposting content and criticizing it, which is protected by Fair Use. They're a non-US company using non-US lawyers. They shouldn't be able to do that.
OTHER PERSON: But people shouldn't look at OnlyFans stuff. That's bad for you.
ME: Yeah, but they're using abusing the DMCA to punish people with bullshit that they're forced to respond to or eat massive legal fees. They shouldn't be able to do that. That's the point. Not the content.
OTHER PERSON: But...people shouldn't look at OnlyFans stuff.

And on and on and on. People do recognize these issues in the wild sometimes (especially with YouTube which is notorious for false takedown bullshit) but if you actually explain this and that we should do something you just get flouride stared. Additional dishonorable mention to braindead fucking vegetables who are completely okay with bad tactics as long as they happen to targets they don't like.

A new report is putting a spotlight on the finances of "The Late Show" as critics speculate the CBS cancellation was a political move to silence its anti-Trump host Stephen Colbert.

Puck News' Matt Belloni reported the late-night show "has been losing more than $40 million a year" for CBS and that it had a budget of "more than $100 million per season," contrasting it with network's daytime and primetime programming, which he noted were "still profitable."

"'Late Show,' with its topical humor and celebrity interviews pegged to specific projects, has struggled on Paramount+. And of the three network late-night shows, ‘Late Show’ has by far the smallest digital footprint on YouTube and other platforms," Belloni wrote. "So from a business perspective, the cancellation makes sense."

Belloni said the sources he spoke with at CBS and Skydance Media, the company that is set to buy the network's parent company Paramount Global as part of an $8 billion merger, insist Colbert's cancellation was "based on economics, not politics," pointing to the decision to give his show a 10-month extension to May 2026 instead of pulling the plug immediately as evidence.

"Still, two other people with deep ties to CBS and Late Show suspect otherwise," Belloni said. "After all, when a network decides that a show is too expensive, executives typically go to the key talent and ask them to take pay cuts, fire people, or otherwise slash costs. That didn’t happen here—though with Colbert said to be making between $15 million and $20 million per year, a pay cut wouldn’t have solved the problem on its own."

The veteran entertainment journalist went on to suggest that political motivations could be in play if Paramount goes on to also cancel "The Daily Show," which airs on CBS' sister cable network Comedy Central, but stressed, "for now, I cautiously (and skeptically) believe that this was mostly an economic decision."

That said, Belloni asked whether this was "the dam bursting" in late night on broadcast television, suggesting that Jimmy Kimmel at ABC as well as Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers at NBC could be next.

"I’ve sensed that the networks have all been reluctant to be the first to pull the trigger on a cancellation in the historic time slot. CBS has now fired the opening shot, and it’s reasonable to suspect that NBC and ABC will follow," Belloni wrote. "So no, I wouldn’t sleep well tonight if I were Kimmel or Fallon, though both have larger digital footprints and do a lot more for their respective networks. Fallon and Meyers have also been protected by Lorne Michaels, who produces both their shows, though I wonder if even Lorne might recognize that the 12:30 slot is increasingly not viable, and the sacred cows of television are being slaughtered, one by one."

President Donald Trump speculated about the future of the other late-night hosts in his Truth Social post celebrating "The Late Show" cancellation.

"I absolutely love that Colbert got fired," he said. "His talent was even less than his ratings. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next. Has even less talent than Colbert! Greg Gutfeld is better than all of them combined, including the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show."

CBS said in its statement Thursday announcing the cancellation that it was "purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night," adding, "It is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount."

In a somber message breaking the news to his studio audience, Colbert said, "The folks at CBS have been great partners."

However, he struck a vastly different tone on Monday while slamming Paramount's recent settlement with Trump.

"I believe this kind of complicated financial sentiment with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It’s ‘big fat bribe,'" Colbert said. "Because it all comes as Paramount’s owners are trying to get the Trump administration to approve the sale of our network to a new owner, Skydance!"

There had been concerns within Paramount that not settling Trump's lawsuit would halt its Skydance merger, which needs the approval of the FCC.

kydance Media CEO David Ellison, who would control CBS after the planned merger, is believed to desire a less-partisan operation.

Liberal critics, including several top Democrats, have expressed outrage towards CBS, insisting Colbert's show was canceled for political reasons.

Usually only gaming sites do this, I want to say MMO Champion or Wowhead? But besides pop-ups they had dedicated page space for ads and essentially filled in that background with "you're adblocking, we know you're being bad rn, you should go premium, unblock, or else!" then lay the ads over that. So you should never see it, unless you ran an ad blocker.

It's kind of a clever way to address it from their point of view, and worth understanding the low tech, turnkey design around it. Like with any magic trick or illusion, knowing how it works helps dispel the effect it has on you.

Javascript popups are the worst thing to happen to the internet after Captcha, not counting more serious things like censorship. I still can't get over how annoying they are and blocking them is getting more and more complicated.

Why is it so hard for you to interrupt your seething hatred of white women for only 5 minutes a day to hate payment processors instead?

Because I can actually see a woman leave her shopping cart in the middle of an aisle and I can yell at her, right then and there, about how she's a fucking problem and see her running risk assessment in her head in real-time on whether or not Karen'ing out is safe or it's time to retreat.

When you phonebook a payment processor CEO or executive and show me what they look like and where I can go outside of their mansions to complain about how their driver parks their limo or how they clog up lines at a theme park I'll be there to yell at them and make them feel uncomfortable too.

Nothing will ever come of this because conservatards are braindead. The libtards noticed a long time ago that you can harass payment processors into blacklisting people by calling them out on Twitter and getting your libtard friends to join you in sending angry emails. They literally do this openly and without shame. Conservatards never fucking connect the dots and realize that maybe they can do something about this (some of these guys are followed by the president or the VP themselves.) They just blame whatever the abstract boogeyman of the week is and do nothing. It's maddening.

GiveSendGo's success effectively covered the immediate costs for 2 years, and a chunk of that money & development time went into the recent hardware upgrades instead. He's still working on it but it's less of a priority atm. Gilded border is working but I am jonesin' for those 24 hr highlights
